Wikipedia editors officially deem Trump a fascist
Wikipedia editors have labeled Donald Trump as a fascist, coinciding with heightened political rhetoric during the election cycle.
This perception is reinforced by a series of Wikipedia articles, notably one titled "Donald Trump and Fascism." These articles link Trump to fascist ideologies through various citations, often from radical leftist scholars. The Wikipedia page appeared the same day the Guardian published a 4,000-word article called "Is Donald Trump a fascist?" Contributions from just two editors comprise 91.2% of the page’s content, suggesting a tightly coordinated effort to control the narrative.
Key points in the discourse suggest that Trumpism displays "significant authoritarian leanings" and has been compared to Nazi rhetoric.
Critics argue that Wikipedia allows for biased narratives by primarily using left-leaning sources. The article highlights the manipulation of perceptions around Trump amidst the election, raising concerns about the influence of these Wikipedia entries on public opinion.
